How to Handle Job Loss?

​I recently came across a post from someone who shared that he has been without a job for the past three years. 

Not because he didn’t want to work. But because many jobs did not fit their portfolio, experience, or situation.

It reminded me of a practical discourse by Sadguru Shri Aniruddha Bapu on job loss and difficult phases in life.

When a person loses a job, the mind often keeps waiting for the “right” opportunity, a role matching the same position, same salary, same profile. But during that waiting, savings reduce, stress increases, and the pressure at home quietly grows.

Bapu explained it very simply:

At such times, keep ego aside. Take the work that is available first. Start somewhere. Let monthly income become stable again.

Because when income starts coming in, the mind becomes calmer. Decisions become clearer. And the next step can be planned with confidence.

After stability returns, you can always prepare for something bigger, a better role, a better position, a better direction.

Sometimes, taking a smaller step is not moving backward. It is what helps us stand strong enough to move forward again.

A simple thought, but deeply relevant in today’s uncertain career journeys.
